Description

The recession, the credit crisis, and the stock market crash have made inequality, unemployment, housing, and health care important policy issues once again. After 30 years of conservative ascendance, calls for effective regulation of Wall Street, fairer tax policies, and expanded programs serving the unemployed, the ill, and other vulnerable populations have replaced an unbridled faith in the market and a disdain for government programs. As a result, the 2008 elections have provided social workers with an opportunity to develop a stronger public commitment to social welfare. Since Ronald Reagan convinced a generation of Americans that the nation's economic and social problems resulted from excessive government, conservative ideologues have made a fetish of their opposition to government programs designed to promote equality (lost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003). Conservatives claim that government caused economic and moral decline (Bork, 1997; Gilder, 1981) and that social welfare programs actually harm recipients (Mead, 1986; Murray, 1984). Conservatives in control of the federal government reduced taxes, deregulated business, and diminished social programs. The Bush administration outsourced government functions and tolerated corruption and corporate irresponsibility, leaving the economy in ruins (Frank, 2008, Galbraith, 2008).
